The TCO 21 is able to produce at a rate of up to 600 nips per minute. This puts it at the very top of the market, offering highest productivity. The TCO 21 joins the TCO 12 from Trützschler as the only combing machines on the market that offer an automatic Piecing Optimizer technology. This technology does not require a single laboratory test due to two functions: First by adjusting the piecing time in the combing cycle (Timing Function). Whereas the resetting of the detaching point (piecing time) is usually a very time-consuming task, it now takes only a few minutes and is performed automatically at a push on a button. Second the user is helped to select specific detaching curve types (Curve Function) for their unique requirements.

Another key benefit is the machine’s easy operation and maintenance: The Smart Touch display, for example, is fast and intuitive, and a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) sensor quickly identifies each user and adapts the information on the display to their individual needs.

The TCO 21 is also built with original Trützschler electronics that ensure highly reliable performance and durability. Even if components have to be replaced, the customer benefits from long time availability and compatibility of spare parts. This means he can use electronics spare parts for different machine types, e.g., cards and draw frames – this increases flexibility and cuts costs because the customer can keep his spare parts inventory small.
